Bad Points

Stalling, stalling and stalling!!


General Comments

I recently had my Ford Fiesta Encore 1.3L serviced by Ford motors and was charged a fortune (i.e. over £700 this included £400+ for labour) although I wasn't informed that it would cost this much initially. Suffice to say that I will not go to Ford to have the car serviced in the future neither will my next purchase be a Ford motor! Ever since I've owned this car, stalling has been a recurrent problem which no one appears to have provided a convincing reason for (including Ford dealers). After getting it serviced the problem seems to resolve temporarily, then returns again.

    I recently purchased the same model car and have experienced sparodic stalling. It has been back to the garage/dealer several times and they have been unable to solve the problem.
    Is there anyone out there who could offer some advice?
